Gaia B Amman

Gaia B Amman is an Italian-born author and nonbinary creator (they/them) who spent their childhood navigating the beautiful, rigid, and often hypocritical landscape of 1980s Italy. Their work explores the gender conundrums of youth, the weight of cultural heritage, and the sharp, sarcastic humor required to survive both. Their debut fictionalized memoir, An Italian Adventure, has been praised by Kirkus Reviews as an "astutely examined" and "affecting narrative" that tackles themes of religion, sexuality, and identity with a lighthearted yet poignant touch. When not writing about Sicilian nemeses or Catholic guilt, Gaia is likely in the recording booth producing their own audiobooks or advocating for nuanced LGBTQ+ representation in literature. They are dedicated to sharing authentic stories that bridge the gap between history and lived experience.
